Mornings are a very busy time for me. I’m not a morning person at all and tend to skip breakfast if I’m in a hurry or make a quick smoothie or microwave oatmeal. When my boys were in middle and high school, I made these Breakfast Burritos after buying some frozen varieties that they requested. Homemade burritos are healthier, as you control the amount of salt and other additives. My daughter even makes these herself now if she wants a quick meal, even for supper!This is the recipe for one burrito. When I make them ahead and freeze them, I usually make about 8 or so, so but the joy of this recipe is that it is so adaptable. You can add anything you want and even make different ones to freeze at the same time by making some sausage, some bacon, and some vegetable.

- Note: recipe makes one so feel free to double or triple recipe to store in freezer
